Sometimes Walking Out Lets You Find the Right Thing
This song tells you the truth
This is Taylor Swift – ‘It’s time to go’ in her album ‘Evermore’.
The lyrics is telling exactly what everyone may experience in the lifetime.
In Hong Kong, traditionally, we are always taught to be submissive and being a child we would be better to follow the trend what the adults think it is good. Study hard, get into a well-known university, then get a good job… These will secure your place to earn money for supporting your family and a handsome man/ pretty wife.
Then you will be done finishing the most important life tasks. Your are graduated from the University of Life. Applauded by your parents, relatives and friends.
Cried, “Finally!” Finally, suddenly, that’s the end of your film, the ending shows a name list of your family, who gave you advice to get your job, who has accompanied you all the way, your boss, your colleagues, your friends, and those who taught you: you have to stay strong. “Thank you!”, with tears, “Bye, everyone, I have to go!” Watching the end of your film, ‘I see. That is how I live.’ Then you walk off the movie theatre.
The University of Life? No way! That is ridiculous!
No formula for that, everyone has their own experience. No way! There is not only one way to the ultimate ending. There are infinite ways! You can change the present with every thoughts your have in your mind, now. You create who you are, you create your life!
Sometimes, giving up one thing will lead you to the right thing. Everyone has limited time, and we cannot walk on multiple paths at the same time, this is just not making any sense. But, you will never know the way you walk is right or wrong. How do you judge ‘right’ or ‘wrong’? It depends on you…how do you define failure, and how do you regard happiness and life.
Let me tell you:
There are still ways, no matter it seems that’s the end of the road, but that’s the beginning of another road to a brighter future. :)
Never give up on your life, but you can give up on a thing for the sake of the right thing.
